Chad Linder Shawnee Heights High School

2009-08-14T12:41:00.003-05:00

Chad and his family restores old John Deere tractors. They have a bunch of them! Their family farm is located near Overbrook (don't overlook Overbrook!). Just started playing with this image, thinking it would be cool if it had an old time "feel" to it to match the tractor. The chain was my idea; it was laying there on the ground and it had been used to get the tractor up and running so I thought it was appropriate to include it in the image.

Sports Photography Seminar Day 2

2009-07-14T22:33:00.003-05:00

Learning about youth sports workflow and posing ideas. There is always more to learn in professional photography. This afternoon learned about making really cool, one of a kind custome sports posters. Also became an affiliate to be able to offer some custom ESPN branded items that are really going to be popular. We are only one of about 50 photographers in the country so far that are going to be able to offer these products. Pretty fun!

We photographed Adiranna & Erik Gillaspie's wedding yesterday. The ceremony was held at Northland Christian Church and the reception was held at the Kansan grill in downtown Topeka. It was our first time at Northland Christian since the big addition opened about a year ago. I love the way they laid out the glassed in entryway, it makes for some great images.

Sessions are still available, give us a call 233-3827!

Emily is quite the cutie. She is wearing one of our new designer baby dresses from Strasburg Children. We found this delightful store in Branson, Mo recently. We fell in love with their beautiful children's clothes. We have a selection of their clothing for our clients to wear if they choose. Emily was first model and did a magnificent job don't you think?

Hummingbird Fun

2008-08-02T13:23:00.003-05:00

Recently we visited Tom's sister who has a house on Lake Taneycomo. I had fun watching and photographing the many hummingbirds who come to sip from her feeders. You have to be very quick to catch them in mid-flight.

A couple of images from Kenny's sessions. The first image "city lights" that has been "tweeked" a bit to emphasize the lights in the background. The second image is from his "urban" session. Today we have the gift of being able to make images that we have always wanted to make but couldn't before now realize the total potential of the image.

They Are Testing Their Wings

2008-06-09T16:46:00.003-05:00

My window buddies, I think, are about ready to fly! It seems as though the nest is getting a little tight for them and they have been "testing" their wings a lot today! Moma bird isn't coming around as much, just once in awhile papa finch about the same. The feedings are much less frequent today so.... not being a bird expert I have to figure it is all part of the getting ready to fly process. This has been a real gift to be able to watch this whole process from so close!

These beautiful columbines caught Isabelle's attention. She and her brother had a great time during a family photo session last week. This is a great time of year for family photos before it gets too hot and the bugs take over.

Baby Finches!

2008-05-28T12:51:00.003-05:00

As a follow-up to my previous post. I'm a finch daddy! It has been a lot of fun the last couple of weeks watching the finch family hatch their new family. Mrs. Finch doesn't leave her nest very often (seems only when the mail person comes) so I gotta be quick with the camera. Actually since I got this shot another egg has hatched.

They sit on my window sill about two feet from where I work @ my computer. Sometimes I think I see Mrs. Finch watching me thru the blind slat but for some reason I don't seem to bother her. Fun, Fun Fun!

Finch In The Window

2008-05-09T14:23:00.006-05:00

As many of you know, I do a lot of the image processing in our home office. So, I'm sitting at my computer this morning with the windows open so the nice cool spring air can flow in when first I see a male finch sit on my window sill and I think "this is going to be a really great day what a cute little red bird". A little time goes by and then the female finch comes along and I think double wow! A pair of finches. A little more time goes by and they bring back one single twig and leave it in the window. I say oh oh! They then start regularly bringing more twigs. So I think hmmmm... I can't have them building a nest here in this window cause I may want to close it. So the next time the birds leave I close the window and then the momma finch comes back carrying a little twig and is frantically trying to find a way in to "her nest". All I see is this cute little momma finch with a twig in her mouth "hoovering" outside my window, looking me right in the eye, looking lost ! I opened the window again! I think I know what comes next! Tom

PS I just looked up on the internet that finch gestation is 7-11 days. It is about the shortest of any of the birds. hmmmm how long till they can fly?

Joshua was such a good sport about doing this image which was his mom's idea. Depicting the weary traveler, which he was not, took a lot of cooperation from this very high energy 5 year old.

New York / Brooklyn

2008-04-18T12:35:00.010-05:00

Diane & I just got back from visiting family in Brooklyn. Every time that we go and experience "The City" it causes a paradigm shift to occur in the way we see the world and our photography. This trip I really tried to concentrate on getting some images to be displayed in our new expanded studio space.

The first image of the "Wallet Found" was taken right outside of a flea market looking towards a church in the middle of Brooklyn. Obviously the person that found the wallet is a very resourceful person, first of all they used a "found" scrap of paper to write the notice on then to attach it to the tree, if you look closely, a "bobby pin" to tack it to the tree. Once you get away from the "touristy" parts of New York you will find some of the most honest, nice and helpful people that you will ever find anywhere in the world.

The second image of the "New York Water Taxi" was taken from a pier in the "Red Hook" neighborhood in Brooklyn.
